Hi,

As some of you may know Jeff's software UTI-ME includes cell coloring for the timing map, but NOT for the fuel map. I'm not sure why that's the case, but since I find this feature quite useful to quickly see errors in the values and make sure the transitions are smooth, I wrote a little VB script to color the cells in Excel. Of course, you need to import the values from your TXT map file into Excel, which is easy to do. It can be used for fuel, but also for timing values if you adjust the range of Min & max values. Here it is:


Sub ColorCells()
Dim colorIndex As Integer
Dim MaxVal As Double
Dim MinVal As Double
Dim DiffVal As Double

Set myRange = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:K35")
MinVal = Int(Application.WorksheetFunction.Min(Range("B1:K35")))
MaxVal = Int(Application.WorksheetFunction.Max(Range("B1:K35")))
DiffVal = Int(MaxVal - MinVal)
Cells(37, 2).Value = MinVal
Cells(38, 2).Value = MaxVal

For Each Cell In myRange
If Cell.Value > 0 Then
colorIndex = Int(((Int(Cell.Value)) - MinVal) * 255 / DiffVal)
Cell.Interior.Color = RGB(255 - colorIndex, 255 - colorIndex, 255)
Else
Cell.Interior.Color = RGB(255, 0, 0)
End If
Next
End Sub

I attached my Excel file in case you want to use it (you need to enable macros). Please let me know if you have any questions.

 

Nice!

 

LOL! It doesn't look like it's been very useful for others by the look of the number of posts.

 

I am having trouble getting the damn thing to log anything, otherwise this would be cool

 

Same problem, sometimes it will log and sometimes not. I also have a problem hitting all the cells
